Sorry yall Rant coming. please read till end. What a lot of concerned fans don't understand is a lot of times (not all the time of course) when an older person is dating a younger person its because the younger person makes the other feel young and alive again. Especially when they are constantly in the spotlight all the time. they start to feel older from the stress and responsibility of it all. If the person is a minor when they start dating that's completely different. But if they are both consenting adults we should stay out of their business. It goes for non celebrity adults as well.
We live in an age now where grooming and consent are blasted everywhere. I remember the surprise kiss at the end of a date and how excited i felt about it. The 'will he wont he' suspence. It gave me a thrill. Now if that happens so many people scream there was no consent, he didn't ask you, that's assault. Not realizing that kiss was the norm. Most females loved the surprise of it and would not pull away IF they were into that person.
Its gotten to a point where guys are afraid to hold a girls hand when walking because of this. My 15yo daughters bf (also 15) was afraid to sit too close to her without permission, much less hold her hand or anything else. She came and asked if it was her and if he didn't like her because he wouldn't hold her hand. My husband sat him down and apparently his 16yo cousin told him he cant do anything with a girl without asking permission because then its assault and he can go to jail. My husband (who had already been told what to say by our daughter, it was a man to man convo she said ) told him she will tell him personally if she is not ok with something or not comfortable with it. If she says no or i don't want to that's the end of it. He's no longer a nervous wreck and they are happy. Y'all he wouldn't even push her on the swing at the park because if you touch her body at all, with out her saying 'you can touch me' its assault. That is the age we are in now.
If you read this far sorry for the rant but my point is if they are consenting adults let them be. If it is a case of grooming we are NEVER going to be able to convince them, they have to see it or realize it for themselves. We just have to stand back and support them when that happens. If its underage then cops need to be involved.

What about Hollywood golden age actors, actresses, musicians, etc? Like, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart,
Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, Cary Grant and Dian Cannon, and so on
Plus, don t even get me started on the relationships of older men/ much younger women of the modern era-
Kevin Costner
Dennis Quaid
Jeff Goldblum
John Stamos
Bob Saget (Rest in Peace)
Eddie Murphy
Kelsey Grammer
Alec Baldwin
Harrison Ford
Michael Douglas
Steve Martin
David Foster
Mel Gibson ( )
All these men married someone 15+ years younger than their spouse. It s like out with their older spouse, in with their hotter, younger spouse. What s the point? These guys all then went on to have children with these younger women. The spouse that was dumped is now left to raise the first set of children alone. My heart goes out to the ex-wives yeah, they got a big divorce settlement most likely, but the emotional and mental betrayal is heartbreaking.

I am very surprised that Jerry Lee Lewis didn't even get a mention. Every one of his marriages had a huge age gap, including marrying his 13 year old cousin.
I don't think a decade of age difference is all that much, but I do have an age criteria: closer to my age than my daughter's age. That gives me an 11 year window. At 29, I dated an 18 year old. It lasted about a year and a half. I have also dated women older than me, and those relationships were actually more successful, lasting several years. Now in my 50s, I find that it's more realistic to look at generational similarities, like I want my partner to remember the Cold War the same way I remember it -- living it instead of reading about it.

It is an issue if there is grooming involved or abuse. If the marriage works, let them be. The bad thing is if it doesn't work. And mostly women that marry older man do that due to his wealth and power. The issue also is that if she marries somebody older, the probability of being a widow like Celine Dion for example, are much higher. Leonardo Dicaprio's case on the other hand is not normal and he needs some serios help.

The only time age gaps should be concerning is when it's between an underaged person and a person years or decades older.
Other than that, the age gap shouldn't be a big deal. There have been healthy married couples in this world that have big age gaps.

If the younger partner is past the age of like 25, I'm kinda like do you. But a lot of age gap relationships have an obvious power imbalance (the taylor-johnsons, the presleys, etc. Your brain doesn't stop developing till mid to late 20s.

To me, ten years isn't really that much of an age difference. I know of two others:
Mira Sorvino is fourteen years older than her husband, Chrisopher Backus.
Ellen DeGeneres is fifteen years older than her partner, Portia de Rossi.

People today would have had a field day if we were all alive during Grover Cleveland's presidency because he married a woman that he used to babysit and by babysit I mean he used to change his wife's diapers when she was a baby.

At least Priscilla and Elvis didn't start dating until a few years after they met, though since they were ten years apart, they were at different stages of life and emotional development.

there seems to be much more emphasis on cougars. there are much bigger age gaps between older men & younger women. case in point, robert de niro & al pacino who became fathers this year.

I don't usually care for gaps, but when it comes to one of them being a child and the other being an adult then it should matter. It is disturbing.

Katie Holmes was just one of Tom's beards. He needs to leave the cult & the closet, the poor guy would be so much happier & free.

Age gaps don t matter. My husband is 22 years older than I am. The only time it matters is when one of them is under age.
